For purposes of implementing the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the term "Advisory Committee" has
the same meaning as set forth in section 3 (2) thereof. Hence, the term includes subcommittees to the extent that the conduct of their meetings
relates to matters regulated by the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Consistent with that definition as interpreted in Office of management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A-63, the term does not include informal subgroups having few characteristics of formal advisory committees.
